New treatment plan for nasopharyngeal cancer after EBV DNA stays detectable
This Phase 3 trial tests a stronger treatment approach for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer whose EBV “DNA” (a cancer-related virus signal in blood) does not go away after one cycle of chemotherapy. It may help improve outcomes by changing treatment based on how the cancer responds early.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05777278RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Savolitinib plus docetaxel for advanced lung cancer with high MET
This trial studies savolitinib (an oral MET-targeted medicine) combined with docetaxel (an IV chemotherapy) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumor has high MET activity. It’s designed to see if this combination can shrink tumors or control the cancer after the first standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05779423RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing tumor plus two immunotherapies for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether combining a local treatment that freezes a tumor (cryoablation) with two immune “checkpoint” medicines (ipilimumab and nivolumab) can better control unresectable melanoma. It may help when melanoma has grown after prior immune therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05787197Recruiting
Blood test to guide treatment after colon cancer liver surgery
This trial studies a blood test (called ctDNA) in people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver and is being removed with curative surgery. The goal is to see how the blood test can help with planning and improving treatment after surgery.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05821556RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo test for untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of medicines (including valproic acid and a statin) along with standard chemotherapy for people with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer. The goal is to improve cancer control before any prior pancreatic cancer treatments and to see how well the medicines work and are tolerated.
Naples, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05830500RecruitingPhase 4
Anlotinib for advanced medullary thyroid cancer
This trial studies anlotinib in people with advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer that has been getting worse. It aims to see how well the treatment controls the cancer and how safe it is for patients who can’t have curative surgery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05872880Recruiting
Oral cancer treatment with chemo, then surgery and radiation
This trial studies giving chemotherapy first, then removing the tumor with surgery and follow-up radiation for certain cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma. It may help shrink and control the cancer before and after surgery, depending on how well the tumor can be fully removed.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–65 - NCT05874063RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing blood clots during first chemotherapy for germ cell tumors
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving enoxaparin (a blood thinner) can prevent dangerous blood clots in people with advanced germ cell tumors starting their first chemotherapy. It is especially focused on people who are at higher risk of clots.
